🍒 Automate the cherry-picking stuff with Python 🍒
This application serves to streamline the deployment process for projects hosted on GitHub and BitBucket.
Demeter helps developers cherry-pick certain pull requests from GitHub tickets that are slated for release by automating the branch creation and then incorporating the commits from these pull requests into the branch.
In an ideal scenario, the pull requests that have already been merged into the development branch should all go into the next release, however, this is often not the case. Demeter allows the developer to specify which resolved tickets they would like to include in the new release. It saves them the time spent time manually referencing each pull request and cherry-picking the commits chronologically.
1.) Download the latest version of Demeter from the Releases tab
2.) Unzip the archive
3.) Setup a python virtual environment
4.) Activate the virtual environment
5.) Install the project dependencies by running pip install -r requirements.txt
6.) Once installed, invoke Demeter by typing python3 Demeter.py [service] where service denotes either GitHub (--github or -g) or BitBucket (--bitbucket or -b)
- Python 3+
- GitHub access token and/or BitBucket consumer keys
- Structured pull request system that includes ticket number in title
Usage is fairly straightforward. If you are running Demeter for the first time, you will be prompted for GitHub/BitBucket credentials that will only need to be entered once to setup the configuration file. Note: You will need to create a personal access token for Demeter to use prior to running the application (GitHub profile -> Settings -> Developer Settings -> Personal Access Tokens) or (BitBucket profile -> All workspaces -> Click 'Manage' on desired repository -> OAuth consumers -> Add consumer).
Once configured, you will then be prompted to enter the tickets you'd like to include in the next release. (Disclaimer: Pull requests MUST include the ticket number somewhere in its title, otherwise the application will be unable to parse any pull request associated with these tickets).
From there, Demeter will then search for the associated pull request for these tickets among the last 50 closed pull requests. It will display the connected tickets in a chronological list and prompt for your approval.
If the user approves of the report, Demeter will then prompt the user for the target branch to be checked out. They will then be prompted for the name of the new branch that will be created from these commits.
The user is then prompted to continue going ahead with cherry-picks:
If all cherry-picks were successful, Demeter will output such in the log. The user is then given the option to push these changes to GitHub:
